Green, Helen. At the actors’ boarding house, and other stories. pa. 50c. Helen Green, 826 8th Av., N. Y.
6–45045.
“The book takes its name from a boarding house kept by one Maggie de Shine, a professional herself in her younger days, and patronized by such ‘top-liners’ of vaudeville as the Property Man, the Buck Dancer, the Ingenue, the Three Mangles, Bertine Feathers and her six Pantella Girls, the Texarkana Comedy Four, Mildred Molar, the Queen of Burlesque, and a score of others whose dinner-table talks, punctuated by an occasional ‘scrap,’ are described in speech racy enough to make George Ade’s slang conventional English in comparison.”—Bookm.
“Mrs. Green has not yet completely mastered the art of story telling. It is as a writer of newspaper sketches that she excells ... real pictures of real life, written from the inside, and although often running cheek by jowl with crime and vice, never repulsive.” James L. Ford.
